My parents had an appointment for 4pm and advised them to arrive at 2pm. They weren't helped until 6pm and were there until 8pm. Mind you tax season is over.

Fui y les enseñe la letra que me mando el gobierno, salieron con que es un error ellas hicieron los taxes bien y que YO les llamé, yo les page por sus servicios ‍. Hablé con los del gobierno y me explicaron en detalle que los taxes los hicieron mal. A quien le voy ha creer, ha los federales o ha estas? Haro tengo que pagar una multa de $300. Aprendan hacer sus impuestos, yo y mi esposa los hicimos el año pasado, no está difícil . Además, el sitio del IRS tiene varios programas para hacer sus impuestos ustedes mismos GRATIS. Long story short, i got audited for my 2017 taxes (we're in 2022). I got a letter from the IRS and went to show it to the tax ladies. I went twice to show them my blue book from that tax year. They told me that everything was done right, just pay the fine then we can try to refund it or just call them. Honestly, who should i believe.. them or the feds? Bro i paid you for your service because I don't understand tax/financial terms but I'm supposed to talk to the IRS ‍. I ended up giving the IRS/FTB and they explained it to me in detail. So yes, my taxes were done wrong and now I got to pay a $300 penalty fine. Stay away from this place, learn to do your own taxes for FREE on the IRS site .

I don't like negative reviews. But this one is to bring awareness, if you're going to file taxes…read morehere for your business DO NOT! They don't know their differences between Corporations, LLC etc. Go with a professional who knows about business taxes. This place is not it. Maybe it's my fault for trusting with my business needs. But then again they are the ones with the tax "knowledge" right? This was Claudia & Robert that I dealt with. I was referred by friends which is why I trusted this place. & to top it off their prices are high to not know what they're doing. I have tried contacting them at 2 different phone numbers to discuss this matter for weeks now and NO Luck. I highly recommend to have a real business tax professional to review your past tax files if you have filed with them in the past maybe even your personal tax. & don't go based on what you see on social media.

Thank goodness I found Pat...! She used to do my taxes when she was part of another group and I…read morelost her info when she went out on her own. But...one day recently I did a yelp search and found her! WOO HOO!!! She's still in Lakewood and easy to get to from the 710 or 91 freeways and inside a business building. Plenty of parking too. Location = 4 stars Pat is the consummate tax professional. She takes her time (so be patient when shes with you), and it is so worth it. She asks plenty of questions but you should be ready to ask as many as you like too! She simply covers all the bases. Thorough = 5 stars I was nervous initially because I am getting my daughter ready for college and financial aid is crazy with income an tax laws etc working AGAINST a single parent but Pat eased my mind and in her usual fashion, she was already outlining how the next 3 years should lay out and how best to maximize savings and minimize taxation within the IRS tax code...this woman knows her tax code and if she doesnt she will research it. Knowledge = 5 stars There arent many like her left these days and the fact that she's an Enrolled Agent gives me even more peace of mind at the end of it all. I am simply so glad I found my original tax pro. She even found that my 2012 taxes needed to be amended to get some extra monies which are due me. Professional!!! A rare gem = 5 stars In the end I got a better end result for 2013 than I expected and for that I am grateful. Everyone's results will differ obviously but if you question your current tax practice or person give P & P a try!
